Step 1 = Create a Customer Gateway (CGW) in AWS. Step 2 = Create a Virtual Private Gateway (VGW) in AWS. Step 3 = Create a site-to-site VPN connection in AWS. Step 4 = Configure the IOS XE router with the required IPsec VPN parameters and routing settings. Step 5 = Verify and test the VPN connection.

The process of configuring a site-to-site VPN connection between an on-premises Cisco IOS XE router and Amazon Web Services (AWS) involves several steps12.

• Create a Customer Gateway (CGW) in AWS: This is the first step where you define the public IP address of your on-premises Cisco IOS XE router in AWS1.
• Create a Virtual Private Gateway (VGW) in AWS: This involves creating a VGW and attaching it to the VPC in AWS1.
• Create a site-to-site VPN connection in AWS: After setting up the CGW and VGW, you then create a site-to-site VPN connection in AWS. This involves specifying the CGW, VGW, and the static IP prefixes for your on-premises network1.
• Configure the IOS XE router with the required IPsec VPN parameters and routing settings: After the AWS side is set up, you configure the on-premises Cisco IOS XE router with the required IPsec VPN parameters and routing settings2.
• Verify and test the VPN connection: Finally, you verify and test the VPN connection to ensure that it is working correctly12.

 A fully meshed topology with SD-WAN technology using dynamic routing and prioritized traffic for QoS meets the network architecture requirements of the company. A fully meshed topology provides high availability by eliminating single points of failure and allowing multiple paths between branch offices. SD-WAN technology enables multihoming by supporting multiple transport options, such as MPLS, internet, LTE, etc. SD-WAN also provides QoS by applying policies to prioritize traffic based on application, user, or network conditions. Dynamic routing allows the SD-WAN solution to adapt to changing network conditions and optimize the path selection for each traffic type. A fully meshed topology with SD-WAN technology can also support specific routing needs, such as segment routing, policy-based routing, or application-aware routing. References:

Step 1 = Create the groups of interest. Step 2 = Configure the topology. Step 3 = Create the application-aware routing policy. Step 4 = Apply the application-aware routing policy to a specific VPN and sites.

The process of configuring an application-aware routing policy in Cisco vManage involves several steps12.

• Create the groups of interest: This is the first step where you define the applications or groups that the policy will affect1.
• Configure the topology: This involves setting up the network topology that the policy will operate within1.
• Create the application-aware routing policy: After setting up the groups and topology, you then create the application-aware routing policy. This policy tracks network and path characteristics of the data plane tunnels between Cisco SD-WAN devices and uses the collected information to compute optimal paths for data traffic31.
• Apply the application-aware routing policy to a specific VPN and sites: Finally, the created policy is applied to a specific VPN and sites. This allows the policy to affect the desired network traffic1.
